My present invention relates to so-called fillers or article separators or partltionmg elements for use in receptacles or containers for fragile articles such as e gs, and aims to provide improved means 0 the class described which shall initself also constitute a carrier or tray-like device adapted to hold the articles independently of the carton, wrapper, case or other container.

In said Figs. 5 to 9 Fig. 5 is a perspective view, from below, of the receptacle, carton or wrapper with the filler positioned therein;

Fig. 6 is a vertical cross section on the line 66 of Fig. 5, corresponding to Fig. 2;

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary longitudinal vertical section on the line 7--7 of Fig. 6;

Fig. 8 shows a blank for forming one of the trough elements or longitudinal members of the filler of Figs. 5 to 7; and

Fig. 9 shows a partition or cross piece for 5 condition as in ig. 10, the filler shown being the filler of the trough elements as shown in Rassu ED similar to that of Figs. 5 to 9 but of the 2x 3 size.

Referring first to Figs. 1 to 4, I have there shown by way of example a receptacle or carton 1, in this instance a standard 2x 6 egg carton, including side walls 1, end walls 2, and a cover 3 havin a flap or tuck 3.

The filler or artic e carrier, adapted for reception in said carton, comprises one or more longitudinal members, trou hs or trough ele ments indicated as a whole y the numeral 4, see particularly Figs. 3 and 3, and a plurality of cross pieces or partitions 13, seen separately in Fig. 4. Depending upon the number of cells and the arrangement thereof desired, any number of the trough elements 4 and of thecross pieces 13 may be employed. In the present instance, that of a 2 x 6 filler, there are two of the former and seven of the latter, to provide twelve cells, in two rows of six each.

Referring particularly to Figs. 3 and 3", each longitudinal member or trough 4 is formed from a generally rectangular blank of cardboard or other suitable material. The blank is'marked or scored for folding lengthwise along parallel lines 5, 6 and 7 (see also Fig. 2), providing a pair of opposed side walls 8 and 8 connected by bottom walls or strips 5' and 6. Along the outer edge of one of the side walls, the side wall 8 of Figs. 2 and 3, is a strip 9 hinged to said side wall along the line 10. This strip 9 as illustrated has a width or height greater than that of its attached side wall 8, and has a straight lower edge or base 11 upon which it is adapted to rest, as upon the floor 12 of the carton (see Fig. 2).

The longitudinal members or troughs 4 are provided with suitable formations for interlocking engagement with the several cross pieces or partitions 13. In the outer strips are slots 15 leading in from the free edges of these strips and preferably having flared e mouths as indicated at 16. In the side walls 8, 8 and bottom portions 5, 6 are longer slots 17, in alignment respectively with the several slots 15. These lon er slots 17 extend from the upper edge 10 o the outer side wall 8, entirely across said side wall, across both 100 bottom members 5' and 6, and into the inner side wall 8', ending short of the free edge of the latter, as at 18. 7

As best seen in Figs. 2 and 4, each of the cross pieces or transverse partitions 13 comprises a base or bottom portion 19 and a plurality of upper portions 20 and 21 bounded at their sides by vertical slots 22, 23 and 24, preferably with flaring mouths substantially as illustrated. The central slot 23, between the two upper portions 20 and 21, has an enlarged lower end 23. Exteriorly of the outer slots 22 and 24 are the spacer portions 27 and 28 respectively.

By reason of the above described .formations, the longitudinal members 4 and the cross pieces 13 may be readily assembled into their cell-forming relation as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The upper portions 20 and 21 of the cross pieces are projected through the slots 17 of the side wall and bottom portions of the longitudinal members, while the outer strips 9 of the latter are set into the outer slots 22 and 24 of the cross pieces. In assembled position the bottoms of the slots 22, 24 of the cross pieces abut the upper ends of the slots 15 of the longitudinal strips 9, 9, while the ends 18 of the slots 17 of the trough elements 4 engage the enlarged lower end of the central slot 23 of each cross piece 13. Thus in assembled or set up condition, the filler is ready to receive the eggs or other articles and may be filled therewith either before or after it is placed in the carton.

It will be noted thatI have provided a cellular filler or carrier in which each of the cells has a closed bottom, that is, a bottom portion, whether perforate or imperforate, which is ca able of carrying anarticle, the filler being se f-supporting and capable -in'and of itself of holdingtheseries of articles, independently of any external support and irrespective of whether or not the filler is positioned within a carton or the like. The side walls 8, 8 and the bottom portions 5*, 6 interconnecting the latter form in each cell a sling or hammock-like support for the article, readily conforming to the particular contour of the latter and holding it above the plane of the bases 19 of the cross pieces.

The full lines in Fig. 2 show said sling elements, including the side walls 8, 8- and bot tom portions 5, 6 in substantially their position occupied when empty. When an article such as an egg is positioned in any cell of the filler, its engagement with the opposite and downwardly converging side walls 8, 8 tends to spread or separate the latter at their lower portions and accordingly to draw up the bottom portions 5*, 6 flattening the angle between the two latter portions, and bringing them substantially into a position such as indicated by the dotted lines of Fig. 2. Thus the article is held entirely above the floor of the carton, removing any likelihood of breakage from a blow on the carton floor. The slung side walls 8, 8 also effectively cushion the sides of the articles, while the upper ends of the latter are kept out of contact with the carton top by the upper portions 20, 21 of the cross pieces. The strips 9 of the longitudinal members additionally cushion the articles between the outer sides of the cells and the adjacent wall of a carton or wrapper in which the filler and its contents contents is received. These strips also afi'ord additlonal support and rigidity to the cross members 13.

The self-supporting filler of my invention forms in effect a cellular tray adapted for use independently of any wrapper, carton or other container. For example, a purchaser of a carton with enclosed filler and contents, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, may, after opening the carton, lift the filler and contents bodily out of the carton, which may then be thrown away while the filler and contents may be conveniently placed for use, as in a refrigerator. It is then unnecessary to open a box each time an article, such as an egg, is to be removed, nor is it necessary to take out all the eggs and place them in a dish for storage in-'the refrigerator, as is a present common practice. Also, the increased. ventilation'afl'orded eggs positioned in my tray-like.fillerf'prolongs the timeth'e'yl.

will" remain "fresh.

For purposes pack-ing and shipping the fillers in lots, it will be understood that the filler is readily collapsible and will lie substantially flat, in' the manner illustrated ,in Fig. 10, later to be-rcferred to in detail. The parts may readily be assembled or interengaged by machinery, previous to shipment;-

and collapsed into the. flat position of said figure. In setting up a filler, from its.col

lapsed or fiat condition as shown'in Fig. 10, it

is necessary merely to press it lengthwise in either direction against any suitable stop,

which may be the hand of the operator. The

two upwardly extending portions of the trough elements seen in Fig. 11, are then grasped along their upper edges, brought together, and pressed downwardly, through the position illustrated in Fig. 12, and into the completely set up and interlocked position of Fig. 13. Thus the tray-filler of my invention can be quickly and easily set up from its collapsed position of Fig. .10, and when so set up is readily inserted or dropped into a standard or other box or carton or a standard 30-dozen egg crate.

' strip or reinforcing member 55.

to 4; -Asbest seen in Fig. 9 and also in Fi 6, the cross pieces or partitions comprise eac a lower or base portion 33 andupper wall portions 34, 35 bounded at their sides by the slot formations 36, 37 and 38. In this instance, means is provided for positively locking the cooperating ortions of the longitudinal members in sai slots 36, 37 and38, comprising, for each of the slots, a hook or shoulder 39, and41 respectively, formed on and projecting laterally from the upper portions 34, 35 of the cross piece. Above these hooks or shoulders, the parts upon which they are carried are preferably inwardly; and upwardly beveled or inclined as indicated at 39, 40 and 41 respectively, to guide and facilitate the entry of'the cooperating portions of the longitudinal members into the slots. The outer slots 36 and 38 are closed at their sides by the upwardly extending tongues 36 and 38.

The blank for one of the longitudinal or trough elements is shown in Fig. 8, bein indicated as a whole by the numeral 42. in Figs. 1 to 4, previously described, this blank is marked or'scored lengthwise and along parallel lines for folding into a plurality of strip portions to form the hammock-like trough sides and bottom. The said fold lines are indicated in Fig. 8 at 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 and 48 respectively, dividing the blank into an upper inner wa strip 49, see also Fig. 6, an inner lower side wall strip 50, bottom strips 51, 52, outer lower side wall strip 53, outer upper side wall strip 54 and the exterior Along the free edge of the" latter are cut or stamped the slots 56 corresponding to the slots 15 of the filler of Figs. 1 to 4, these also preferably having flaring mouths, to facilitate the assembling of the parts. In alignment 7 a with the slots 56 is a second series of slots 57 extending from the hinged edge of the first stri 49 across the blank to the hinged edge of t e exterior strip 55. One end of each of these slots is enlarged or belled substantially as indicated at 58, and is desirably formed with a notched or serrated lower wall, as seen at 59, Fig. 8. It will be noted that those portions of the hingedly connecte'd strips 50 to 54 inclusive which lie between the several slots 57 are the portionswhich will constitute the sling-like side and bottom walls for the several cells, providing for one cell between each adjacent pair of slots and one at each end of the blank. At the two ends of the blank the cell side and bottom wall portions are left free, the blank being cut away centrally rather than merely slotted as between the interior-cells. Thus at each end of the blank there is formed a relativel short slot 60, between the adjacent end of stripo5O and a tongue 61. Opposite these short slots 60,'transversely oft e blank, the side strip portion 54 is t e side wall as at 62, in-

cluding a notched lower portion 63, corresponding substantially to a half portion of the formations 58, 59 vfor the interior cells, and with a corresponding tongue 64 opposite the tongue 61 at the other side of the blank.

Preferably as a step in the manufacturing operation, the cross members or transverse partitions are partially assembled with the longitudinal members, readily by machinery if desired, and the several parts are collapsed flatwise against each other. For example, in a 2 x 3 filler such as shown inFigs. 10 to 13, the four cross pieces 33 have the two longitudinal members inserted in their respective outer slots 36 and 38, the longitudinal members bein brought into position wherein the inner en s of their slots 56 seat upon the inner ends of said slots 36 or 38 of the cross pieces as the case may be. The two longi-.

illustrated in Fig. 10, the cross pieces pivoting relatively to the longitudinal elements at their points of engagement. When the filler is subsequently to be set up for use, it need merely be picked up, preferably along the upwardly projecting strips 49 of the two longitudinal members, and moved lengthwise against any suitable abutment, for example as illustrated by the arrows in"'Figs. 10 and 11,-(or the filler may be held stationary and force applied against one of its ends)-sufiiciently to square up the cross ieces with respect to the lon 'tudinal memers, as in Fig. 12. Downward pressure upon the still free portions of the lon 'tudinal members will now readily bring t em into the final position of Fig. .13. The upper portions 34, 35 of the-cross pieces 33 project themselves through the slots 57 of the longitudinal members. The latter are forced down until their upper strips 49 snap beneath and are held locked by the central hooks 40 of the cross pieces. against relative movement lengthwise of the filler by reason of thenotched formations 59 and 63 on the longitudinal members which receive the outer hooks 39 and 41 of the partitions. The filler thus completely assembled constitutes a self-supporting tra comprising a plurality of ali ed cells, eagwith four side or vertical wal s and a bottom; When a filler such as illustrated in any of the figures is employed in a tubular Wrapper or container as shown in Figs. 5 to 7, it may be retained in the lattter in any suitable manner as, for example, by placing seals or stickers across the open end or ends of the wrapper, or b the use of wire stitching, staples or the like as inmy patent previously mentioned, the present tubular package and method of forming the same being within the broad scope of claims of said patent. Another simple but extremel ,eflicient means of locking the filler within t e tubular or openwherever located,

longitudinal movement of the end carton is illustrated in any desired wall of the tubular carton, .for example, the carton top, but in the bottom wall as there illustrated, I have provided a plurality of cutout tabs 66 arranged in pairs at opposite sides of the longitudinal median line of the carton. These tabs are so'disposed that when a filler is placed in the carton, one of the partitions or cross pieces 33 will occupy a position between the two tabs 66 of each pair, as best seen in Fig. 7. These tabs, may be pressed inwardly in any suitable manner, as by the finger tips, so that they will project into the carton and lie at the opposite sides of the articular adjacent partition, thus effective y preventing filler relative to the c'arton.- .If desired, these tabs and the adjacent downwardly projecting side parts of the filler may be of such relative lengths that the tabs will extend behind said arts 55, thus locking the tabs in their fillerolding position. Once the tabs have been pushed in, it is practicall impossible to remove them without muti ating them or the carton, making unauthorized opening of the carton, without detection, impracticable.

One important advantage in connection with a tubular carton or wrapper such as that of my patent above mentioned and as hereinv illustrated lies in the saving of approximately 25 per cent of the stock required for the carton or wrapper.

In connection with the foregoing description, it will be understood that the engaging formations for the partitions and the longitudinal elements may be variously modified and the interlocking parts widely varied, either to include or to omit ositive locking hooks, shoulders, etc., all within thespirit of my invention. The outer side portions or strips of the troughs or longitudinal elements may be extended downwardly the full depth of the partitions, so as to rest on the carton bottom, as in Figs. 1 to 4, or may terminate short of the carton bottom, as in Figs. 5 to 8. Obviously also, if desired, similar down wardly extending strips may be provided at the opposite side of any or all trough elements. In the construction as shown it will be noted that the inner side portions of the longitudinal members, which are brought together in setting up the filler, see Figs. 12 and 13, provide a double-walled center piece b throughout the length of the filler afl'ordin additional strength and rigidit The formation of the cross pieces may a so be widely varied, it being noted, for example, that in Figs. 10 to 13 the exterior upwardly projecting tongues 67, 68 are extended upwar ly substantially. the full height of the portions 34, 35 of their cross pieces, and are bevelled as at 69, 70 to facilitate insertion of the filler in a tubular carton or to assist the reception of the cover tuck of a hinged-cover type of Figs. 5 to 7. In

retailer, by merely g to partition and hold articles for use,

adapted for use in connection with cartons or wrappers for the retail distribution of eggs or other articles, the cartons being either of x 4 or other requiredform, but is wholly separate from and structurally independent of such receptacle. If additional cells are needed, either lengthwise or transversely of the filler, it is necessary merely to repeat the partition and trough formations for the additional extent desired. The tray-filler as described facilitates an attractive display of the eggs or other articles by a opening the carton, when the contents are more fully than in an ordinary filler, the filler with its contents and displaying them as upon a counter. For similar reasons thecontents' themselves are also more readily removable from the cells of the tray-filler.

Since the filler is structurally independent of any carton or wrap er, it does not interfere with or interrrupt the flat surfaces of the or be removing latter, but leaves them available in their en-- tirety for printing and advertising purposes. Further, the bottomed cells have the advantage that in the event of breakage of a contained article such as an egg, the matter is largely retained in the cell and does not readily seep through to contaminate other cartons which may be adjacent it in a case or crate. However, thefiller of my invention largely eliminates breakage, by reason of its strength and the all-round cushioning of the several cells, and particularly at the sides, the ends, and the bottom-of the carton or other receptacle.
